Description
Kings Mill is a former cotton mill, later used as a paper store, dating from around 1830. The building is constructed of rubble with stone dressings, topped with a slate roof. It is four storeys high and consists of thirteen bays. There is a left-hand entrance to the ground floor and a right-hand entrance leading to a winder staircase. Several windows retain their original 30-pane lights, while the rest have been replaced in the 20th century. The right-hand gable end features a chimney with modillions at the eaves. Internally, each floor is supported by cast-iron columns, and the roof is of bolted queen-post construction. An extension dating from the late 19th century is located to the left. The mill was built by John Protor, who also built Protor’s Row for his workers, a building which is not listed.
